i'm the strong onei'm not nervousi'm as tough as the crust of the earth isi move mountainsi move churchesand i glow 'cause i know what my worth is
i don't ask how hard the work isgot a rough, indestructible surfacediamonds and platinum, i find 'em, i flatten 'emi take what i'm handed, i break what's demanded, but
under the surfacei feel berserk as a tightrope walker in a three-ring circusunder the surfacewas hercules ever like “yo, i don't wanna fight cerberus”
under the surfacei'm prеtty sure i'm worthless if i can't be of sеrvice
a flaw or a crackthe straw in the stackthat breaks the camel's backwhat breaks the camel's back

it's pressure like a drip, drip, drip, that'll never stop, whoapressure that'll tip, tip, tip 'til you just go pop, whoa-uh-uhgive it to your sister, your sister's oldergive her all the heavy things we can't shoulderwho am i if i can't run with the ball
if i fall to
pressure like a grip, grip, grip, and it won't let go, whoapressure like a tick, tick, tick 'til it's ready to blow, whoa-uh-uhgive it to your sister, your sister's strongersee if she can hang on a little longerwho am i if i can't carry it all
if i falter
under the surfacei hide my nerves and it worsens, i worry something is gonna hurt usunder the surfacethe ship doesn't swerve as it heard how big the iceberg isunder the surfacei think about my purposecan i somehow preserve this

line up the dominoesa light wind blowsyou try to stop it tumblingbut on and on it goes
but waitif i could shake the crushing weightof expectations would that free some room up for joy
or relaxation? or simple pleasure
instead we measure this growing pressurekeeps growing, keep going'cause all we know is
pressure like a drip, drip, drip that'll never stop, woahpressure that'll tip, tip, tip 'til you just go pop, woah-oh-ohgive it to your sister, it doesn't hurt andsee if she can handle every family burdenwatch as she buckles and bends but never breaksno mistakes, just
pressure like a grip, grip, grip, and it won't let go, woahpressure like a tick, tick, tick 'til it's ready to blow, woah-oh-ohgive it to your sister and never wonderif the same pressure would've pulled you underwho am i if i don't have what it takes
no cracks, no breaksno mistakesno pressure
